What is a Web 2.0 Science Class?

A Web 2.0 Science Class is

a knowledge-oriented environment
a classroom where the students generate content by performing lab experiments, reading, research, and interacting with other students
a studio where students publish, manage, and use the knowledge they generate using Web 2.0 tools
uploading instead of downloading
a community of collaborators, co-teachers, and co-learners

In our Science class we use

Wikispaces

to share information with the rest of the class
to connect to meaningful sites on the Internet
to display our projects

VoiceThreads

to review material by describing pictures from class
to build language skills
to learn logical sequencing
to share our discoveries

Pageflakes

to organize research projects
to share information as we find it
to gather information from many sources through web feeds
